THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY The Civil Rights Bill of Illinois As Amended BY MAJOR JOHN C. BUCKNER IN 1897. THE HONORABLE NEIGHBOR EDWARD HEZEKIAH MORRIS, THE EX-BOSS ATTORNEY FOR THE GAMBLER'S TRUST HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH SECURING ITS PASSAGE OR THE AMENDMENTS TO IT. Vol. XV The Civil Right Bill of BY MAJOR JOHN C. BU THE HONORABLE NEIGHT MORRIS, THE EX-BO GAMBLER'S TRUST HA SECURING ITS PASSA TO IT. The Afro-American is indeed a very peculiar being, at all times he persists in closing his eyes tight like a blind mule. he will not read, and keep posted on historical or current events, and when it was announced in these columns last Saturday, that the late J. W. E. Thomas and Major John C. Buckner, were the real or the only fathers of the "Civil Rights Bill" of this state, many Afro-Americans residing in this city, who claim to know everything, but when it comes right down to it, they absolutely know nothing about their own race, its past or its present history, and this class of Afro-Americans, were loud in declaring that "there must be a mistake on our part, that they never knew that Messrs. Thomas and Buckner, were its authors. As stated before in these columns, J. W. E. Thomas, was elected to the legislature of this state in the early 80's and in 1885, his "Civil Rights Bill" became a part of the orgaulo laws of Illinois, and Major John C. Buckner, was elected to it in 1894, and re-elected in 1896, and he had the following amendments passed and attached on to it. "Protection to citizens, I amend section 1, of the act of 1885, by providing that all citizens be entitled to a full and equal enjoyment in this state, of enumerated rights." "An act to amend an act entitled an act to protect all citizens in their civil and legal rights and fixing a penalty for violation of the same." "Be it enacted by the people of the state of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly, That section one (1) of an act to protect all citizens in their civil and legal rights and fixing a penalty for violation of the same," approved June 10, 1885, in force July 1, 1885, be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows: "Section 1, That all persons within the jurisdiction of said state shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns, restaurants, eating houses, hotels, soda fountains, saloons, barber shops, bath rooms, theatres, skating rinks, concerts, cafes, bicycle rinks, elevators, ice-cream parloris, or rooms, railroads, omnibuses, stages, street cars, boats, public corveversions on land and water, and all other places of public accommodation and amusement, subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law, and applicable alike to all citizens." "Approved June 10, 1897." Aside from having the "civil Rights Bill" amended, Major Buckner, while a member of the legislature, honorably served as chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, and as its chairman he revised the entire Military Code of this state, he also secured the admission of the old 9th Battalion, now the famous Eighth Regiment and the Hibernian Rifles, now the fighting 7th Regiment, into the National Guards of this state, he was also the father of the Omaha Exposition bill, also the Nashville, Exposition bill, and bravely served as one of the Illinois Commissioners to the Nashville Exposition. He also was an influential member of the Appropriation Committee. Committee on Insurance, Committee on Railroads and Municipal Corpora- tions. He secured the passage of the measure, authorizing the filling in of the lake beyond the Illinois Central Railroad tracks, from Randolph street to Park Row, and the measure carried with it an appropriation of $800,000 for the first year, but the bill was vetoed by Gov. Tanner. Its object was to establish a parade ground and Military park. Major Buckner, also deserves the credit of securing the passage of the bill giving the South Park Commissioners the power to create what is known as Grant Park, on the lake front, all of which grew out of the measure creating the parade ground and military park. He also had passed the measure giving the street car company the right to extend its line on $5th street from State street to Cottage Grove Avenue, and much other important legislation, which has been beneficial to all the people of Illinois stands to the credit of Major John C. Buckner. Contrast the labors of Major Buckner and his record in the legislature of this state, with the labor and the record of the honorable neighbor. Edward Hezekiah Morris, the ex-boss attorney for the "Gamblers" and there is as much difference as there is between the smallest fly and the very largest elephant. Residing for a long time in a district where the people generally, speaking did not possess very high ethical ideals, and where vice and crimes of the most foulest kinds were all the rage, it was therefore not surprising that the honorable neighbor Edward Hezekiah Morris, the ex-chief attorney for the boss gamblers, had no higher ambition while he was a member of the legislature of this state, than to spend all of his time in endeavoring to enact legislation for the sole benefit of the gamblers and the in-born sports. Notwithstanding these facts there are many fool empty headed Negroes in this city for a few dimes, worship the honorable neighbor, Edward Hezekiah Morris, as the great God of the universe! HOT WEATHER HEALTH HINTS. QUIT EATING! Yes, quit eating. Plain enough, isn't it? And what's more, we mean it. The hot weather is upon us. It is the season when fully one-half of those who die are killed by eating too much. The trouble is they eat too much of the wrong kinds of food and not enough of the right kinds. So, we are in earnest when we say "Quit eating." What is meant by this is that during the hot weather we all should quit eating meats, gravies, pastries and any sort of rich, heavy and heat-producing foods. The proper diet from now to October should be exclusively fruits, vegetables, milk and eggs, and the cereals. And, cut out the beer and booze of every kind. Guzzling is all right if you guzzle lots of water. It should be just cool, not ice cold. If you must spend money for drinks, buy better milk. It is healthful, refreshing and nourishing. But, let beer alone. Nearly every case of sunstroke or heat prostration is due to the use of beer and other alcoholic stimulants. In this climate CHICAGO, JUNE 25, 1910. EDWARD OSGOOD BROWN The well known and most eminent lawyer, who should be elected to the vacant Judgeship of the Circuit Court of Cook County the sun rarely gets hot enough to hurt anybody, provided only they do not over-eat and let stimulants alone. By following these directions as to diet and drink, you can save money on your meat and beer bills, and stand a much better chance of getting through the summer months without the services of either a doctor or the undertaker. of these are, onions, lemons, rattle snake poison, coal dust, lime dust, pigs' blood, dog oil, milk 'strippings, and even alcohol. These will not cur consumption declares the National Air association. No drug, gas or other material has yet been discovered, which when eaten, inhaled or injected into the body, will kill the germs of tuberulosis. Fresh air, which contain MILLIONS SPENT ON FRAUDS. Fake Consumption Cures Cheat Public Out of $15,000,000. Over $15,000,000 annually is poured into the coffers of those who exploit and advertise fake consumption cures, according to a statement issued today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis; and for this vast sum the victims receive nothing in return, but are often permanently injured and in the majority of cases cheated out of the chance for a real cure. Worse still, most of this money is paid by those who can least afford it. The National Association has investigated several hundred so-called "cures" and "treatments" for tuberculosis now being advertised throughout the country, and finds that more than $3,000,000 a year is being spent in soliciting the patronage of the public. On examination, it has been found that the great majority of these "cures" contain harmful and habit-forming drugs, such as morphine, opium and chloroform. None of them will cure consumption. The only cure for this disease that has ever been discovered is the combination of fresh air, rest and wholesome food. All of the "cures" that attempt to destroy the tubercle bacillus without these or to stop the progress of the disease in some mysterious way are branded as truands, and impositions. Three classes of "cures" are distinguished by the National Association. In the first class are included devices and drugs which can be bought for any sum ranging' from ten cents to five dollars at a drugstore. The United States Department of Agriculture has just issued a bulletin in which some of the most used of these drugs and remedies are analyzed and condemned. The second class of "cures" includes the "institutes," "professors" or companies of "doctors," who for a consideration guarantee to cure consumption by some secret method of which they are the sole proprietors. There are nearly one hundred and fifty, of these institute frauds in the United States, cheating the people out of millions of dollars annually. In the third class of "cures" are placed a number of home-made remedies, which either through ignorance or superstition have been advanced as treatments for tuberculosis. Some of these are, onions, lemons, rattlesnake poison, coal dust, lime dust, pligs' blood, dog oil, milk "strippings," and even alcohol. These will not cure consumption declares the National Association. No drug, gas or other material hag yet been discovered, which when eaten, inhaled or injected into the body, will kill the germs of tuberculosis. Fresh air, which contains more oxygen than any substance known, will destroy the germs of tuberculosis, if it is breathed continuously for a long enough period, and if rest and wholesome food are employed at the same time to build up the body. HOME FOR AGED AND INFIRM COLORED PEOPLE. 610 W. Garfield Boulevard. Chicago, Ill., June 21, 1910. The annual meeting of the Association of the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People will be held on Thursday evening, June 30, 1910, at Odd Fellows' Hall. The annual report of the Board of Directors will be submitted, Including as it does, the reports of the Secretary and Treasurer. These reports ought to be of special interest to you, showing as they do the sources of receipts and the causes and economy of disbursements; also the general management of affairs, methods, etc., as well as the struggles and difficulties encountered in the effort to properly maintain these aged people for whose care we are responsible. The Association is the sovereign body in the affairs of the "Home," and from its membership the Board of Directors are chosen, five of whom are elected annually; hence, a large and active Association is of infinite importance. The indifference or lack of interest on the part of our people toward this institution is indeed a shame and a disgrace; and to us exceedingly discouraging. But we are sincere in the belief that a large and active Association, with some missionary work on the part of its members, will certainly give our institution publicity, and thereby ultimately create and stimulate a renewed interest among the people generally. This institution needs you. It needs your assistance, your influence, your interest. We trust you will find it convenient to attend this meeting, and that you will bring at least one friend to join us. The fee is only one dollar a year, which is of small consideration compared with the valuable assistance gained by your interest in the work and the benefits of your influence and advise. Very truly yours, BOARD OF DIRECTORS. By W. H. Jackson, Secy. The Third Annual Meeting of the National Political League. PRESIDENT WILLIAM H. TAFT, SEVERELY SCORED. FOR FAVORING THE DISFRANCHISEMENT OF THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTHERN STATES AND FOR BOWING DOWN TO RACE PREJUDICE. The following call has been issued by the National Political League, which has members and branches in thirty states: To Colored Americans and their Fellow Countrymen, Greetings:— By vote of the Executive Committee and by order of the President this call of the National Independent (formerly Negro-American) Political league is issued for the 3rd annual meeting at Atlantic City, New Jersey, August 4th and 5th, 1910. and caste stigma of segregation in public travel, casting them even into peonage. They are under the tyranny of taxation without voice as to law-maker, law-enforcer, or law interpreter, they are not only the victims of injustice in the courts, but, denied all trial by court or jury, are the prey of the flendish white mob, until now the almost daily lynching of human beings has disgraced our country before the civilized world. Inevitably this race persecution in- This national convention of Colored citizens is called under what grave conditions touching the object of this organization, the supreme aim of which is to maintain and secure for all Colored Americans the same rights and privileges of citizenship as are enjoyed by the other citizens of these United States of America? In the southern states 95 per cent of the nine million Colored citizens of the United States are deprived of the exercise of the ballot, the fundamental right under our system of government, without which there is for citizens neither protection nor freedom. This rape of the ballot is consummated in plain violation of the national constitution which forbids denial of the right to vote because of race or color. The executive head of the federal government within sixteen months officially admitted this disfranchisement in inaugural address and palliated the violation of the federal constitution instead of declaring his purpose to enforce the law in obedience to the oath he had just solemnly taken. President Wm. H. Taft even intimated the legality of those devices for nullifying the 15th amendment by state laws which are as much worse than fraudulent practices as law is stronger than custom. The legislative branch of the federal government, specifically clothed with power to enforce the suffrage articles of the constitution, has viewed with apathy and inaction their flagrant violation save when actively condoning it by seating congressmen elected under the violation as against contestants entitled to seats if the federal law had been obeyed in their districts in the South. The judicial branch has dodged the issue in all cases brought involving southern disfranchisement laws, thus by persistent refusal of relief strengthening the nullification and emboldening the nullifiers of the supreme law of the land. In view of the very nature of our republican institutions, as well as of the declared reasons for our existence as an independent government, is not this condition sufficiently serious to twelve millions of Colored Americans to justify and necessitate a national convention, and sufficiently alarming to all believers in our country's destiny and defenders of her democracy and of her fair name to compel their sympathy and support? But what train of evils were let loose upon Colored Americans with disfranchisement! In the southern states unequal and oppressive laws have destroyed all their civil rights, excluding them from public places of business, of accommodation, or resort, even public parks and public libraries, barring from state, quasi-public and the public schools, forcing them into separate and inferior schools, fastening upon them the public ignominy No. 38 Annual ing of the National Political League. TAFT, SEVERELY SCORED. SFRANCHISEMENT OF THE SOTHERN STATES AND FOR ACE PREJUDICE. and caste stigma of segregation in public travel, casting them even into peonage. They are under the tyranny of taxation without voice as to lawmaker, law-enforcer, or law interpreter, they are not only the victims of injustice in the courts, but, denied all trial by court or jury, are the prey of the flendish white mob, until now the almost daily lynching of human beings has disgraced our country before the civilized world. Inevitably this race persecution infects the north, Color prejudice is on the increase. Discrimination based on color in civil rights and in economic opportunities is gaining ground, Jim-crow cars have reached the borders of the national capitol, twice color disfranchisement has raised its horrid head above Mason and Dixon's line, while bloody riots and barbarous lynchings have reached up to Illinois, even to the home of the martyred Lincoln. Most harmful and portentous of all in this crusade of race hate and color prejudice is the action, under the present administration, of the federal government itself. For the first time in the United States a president has officially proclaimed color a political disability. By his declaration that he would not appoint Colored citizens to office where white citizens objected, he completed southern disfranchisement. It is Colored soldiers who are the victims when for the first time a battalion is discharged wholesale and without trial because of an alleged affray with civilians, and the new departure, aggravated by the failure to establish individual guilt, after trial, is boldly continued. That unique degedation of free citizens, segregation by color in public carriers, has been sanctioned and nationalized by a federal commission, while the federal court in support declares the right of even an interstate railroad to segregate Colored passengers. Unless one-eighth of the citizens of the United States are to be reduced to political serfdom, unless our Republic is to abondon democracy for the caste of color, this present trend must be resolutely opposed. Graver crisis in a Republic could hardly be. Colored Americans, rally to your own defense. From every town and city send delegates to this annual meeting, there to deliberate and organize for self-protection against this menace. And let all true patriots of whatever race, all friends of liberty, battle with us for equality of citizenship, for true democracy, that this may be in very truth the home of the brave and the land of the free.

Speaking at the second annual conference of the national Negro committee, held at Cooper Union Thursday evening, May 12, Clarence S. Darrow, the well known Chicago lawyer, said that the real solution of the race question lay in race amalgamation. "This will be the ultimate answer to the question," declared the speaker. "It may be a long way in the future, but intermarriage between the races will finally settle all difficulties, as it has in the case of the Irish and Germans and other peoples who formerly had to be kept apart in order to preserve the peace. "The real barrier is not color. It is the fact that the Negroes were once slaves and that today they are in the ranks of labor. It is a labor question rather than a race problem, and the way for the Negro to obtain recognition is to cast his lot boldly with the poor and fight with them and for them. The cause of the poor is his cause, and his cause is theirs." The Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, pastor of the Bethel American M. E. church, said: Not a Tender Tie.

Lake St., near Lincoln St. VAN DORN WINS HIS CASE. Court Gives Aged Afro-American Clear Title to His Property. Justice Aspinall of the Queens county supreme court, New York, has decided that Primus Van Dorn, an aged Afro-American, is entitled to his home, which he has owned for forty-four years in Jamaica, N. Y. The land in question consists of four and a quarter acres and is valued at $15,000. Mr. Van Dorn paid $50 for it in 1866. He is now in the eighty-eighth year of his age. He is the son of a slave who was set free by his master in New Jersey and who afterward moved out on Long Island. The family settled in the Springfield section, which was then almost in the heart of a wilderness, midway between Jamaica and Far Rockaway. The family continued to reside on the place, and in 1856 young Van Dorn, then of age, married and purchased a plot from John Conselya. The deed conveyed one and a quarter acres, more or less. The boundary was a little stream which has since dried up. As the years went by and the small water barrier was removed Van Dorn, who was engaging in farming pursuits, was a little careless of the amount of land he cultivated. No one told him to stop, and he worked a section containing nearly five acres. He testified that he has held adverse possession ever since, and in this he was corroborated by others. No one paid attention to him, because the land was not considered worth while bothering about. Recently, however, all the section around has been developed, and the value of the land rose. Then some of the heirs of the former John Conselyea decided to evict Mr. Van Dorn and gain possession of the land; but, having held it so long, he fought back. In the case that was submitted to the court all the facts were agreed upon, and it left but a question of law for the court to decide to whom the property belonged. ODD FELLOWS' ANNUAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE Brooklyn Lodges of Time Honored Secret Order With Households The most highly interesting event in secret society circles in Brooklyn was the recent observance of the sixty-seventh annual thanksgiving service of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. The exercises were held in the Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Zion church, of which the Rev. Dr. A. A. Crooke is pastor. The lodges represented were: Alpha, No. 1381; Morning Star, No.-1470; Mount Zion, No. 1670; Cheruhim, No. 671, and Alvin, No. 788. Households present were: Victoria, Olga, Mara and Queen Esther. The children were seated with the past grand masters' council, patriarchs and other high officials. The scene was a beautiful one to look upon as lodge after lodge marched into the auditorium of the church in full regalia. The sermon was delivered by Dr. A. A. Crooke, whose subject was "The Significance of 'Thanksgiving.' The discourse stirred the members to a degree of approval seldom witnessed on such occasions. It was forceful, logical and full of good advice. Almer who conducts, one of the most prestigious in Chicago.

At the meeting of the state grand lodge in Rochester last year it was decided to start a fund for the purpose of erecting at some central point in the state of New York a home for the aged members of the order; therefore the collection taken at this service was set aside for that specific purpose. Dinner For Y. M. C. A. Managera. Plans are being perfected for the first annual dinner of the committee of management of the Carlton avenue branch of the Young Men's Christian association, Brooklyn.

The object of the gathering, aside from its social features, is to lay before the citizens of Brooklyn the necessity of the work from a business standpoint. Stop Useless Extravagances The crase for automobile and taxi cab riding, fine clothing and a host of other useless extravagances is keeping the colored man back, says the Portland (Ore.) Advocate.

When the latter was four hours old he found the shell of a tortoise and made it into a lyre with nine strings in honor of the nine muses.
